In the morning of the 11th 11 10011 I r vin illtitiCV4.l the application of ,Dane leeches, n hich produced the effect eesired. The night of the 11th wag more restless than the preeptiing. On the I'2th, in the morning, there vvlvi some relief ; but it did not continue, and it thought. it visable at noon to bleed him again. After this his Majesty was better, and slept in the night of, the P2lh mm tranquilly than he had ,on the preceding nights. His Majesty's illness hatl, from the beginning: the decided character of a violent Inflammation of the lungs ; but without any complication, and hitherto without any appearance of any symptom foreign to this disorder. Yesterday evening, which was the beginning of the fifth day, his Majesty was again blooded. lie desired to receive the Sacrament, not from uneasiness, hut not to defer longer giving to his peopie this public proof of, his profound sense of his religious duties, and of his zeal in fulfilling thorn. After this solemn act, which took place ,on the 13th, in the morning, in the presence of stll the Members of the Imperial Family,a strong perspiration ensued, which ntforded his Majesty mock relief, and which the Physicians considered as a favourable Crisis, in the regular progress of . the malady. They agreed that the situation of the august patient had improved since the day jwi` ore ; and expect, unless something unforeseen -should occur, that the ,disorder will go through the regular period of 7, 9, or 11 days.

A question of very great interest came on before the Court of Aldermen on Tuesday last. It arose in an argument before the Vice-Chancellor upon the. subject of property left by the celebrated Sir Francis Drake.. In the year 1782, Sir Francis Drake, Admiral of the Red, was, in consequence of a victory gained over the enemy in the West Indies, with other officers, under Lord Rodney, presented with the freedom or the city of London, by a vote of the Cdurt of Common Council, and was, in pursuance of that vote, made a Liveryman of the Company of Grocers, and sworn in a freeman. Sir Francis Drake took the several oaths which are required to be taken by all persons who are honour ed with the freedtnn of the city. Ile was not free by birth, or servitude, or purchase, or otherwise than aforesaid. Ile married l'ooley Onslow some time afterwards, and made over to her. the sum of 15,000/., in the 3 per cent. Consolidated Bank Annuities in lieu of dOwer. In the year MID, he died intestate, and without issue. The Reverend George Waleot Onslow was constituted executor to the estate. Ills widow some time afterwards married i'tlr. Sergeant Onslow. She had received by the statute of distribution, the share of the property to which she was entitled a s the widow of the Baronet, and for some, years it was supposed that there was no further claim upon the part of the Learned Sergeant. It however occurred urhim that the privilege of a citizen of London, which he °be lieved extended to his wife, as the widow o f a f reeman , m i g h t be made available in obtaining an Increased share in the pro perty bequeathed, and he accordingly claimed, in o pp os iti on to Mrs. huller, a near relative, we believe, of Sir Francis Drake. The case came before the V s a t i o ie n e l l loofr, thew h c o i tayftoetr. Lon donhav- ing beard counsel, ordered that tine m e t.ord Al a y and Aldermen should ontliileosetc applied to to certify . " Ist. tVhethet Sir Francis Drake, having been presented with the freedom of the city under the above -mentioned cir cumstances, was a freeman of the city of London in the sense, meaning, and ?potation of the custom . of the said city, re l at i ng to the diatribution of the effects of I reemen who die intestate ; and in ease the custom of the city of London as to the distri bution of personal estate applies to such a freeman as Sir F. Drake was; then, - ---- • ' idly, IVbether there is any custom of the city ,of London, by virtue whereof the widow of a freeman, having the benefit and provision of such settlement as the settlement in the plead ings in this tause, is debarred from her customary share of his personal estate." - These questions were fiest proposed by the Recorder of the City of London, but were submitted, at his suggestion, to the Court of Aldermen for their fertificate by the mouth of the Re corder. Mr. WAKEFIELD, who appeared as Counsel for the execu tor, who has no interest in the decision, stated that his attend knee was merely complimentary. Mr. SHADWELL, 10 Counsel for Mr. Serjeant Onslow, con. tended that Sir Francis Drake had been a freeman of the city of London in the most complete sense of the word, and had been entitled to all the privileges of one of the body. The conferring of the freedom of the city upon meritorious mdivi. duals comprehended of course all the advantages to which persons who obtained the • freedom in any other way, were entitled, otherwise it would he a mere mockery to propose such a mode of conveying the sense the Corporation entertained of the great efforts of the naval and military heroes of the coon. try. !VIT.. Shadwell- cited some authorities in support'of his position ; after which . . Mr:SR/41[1E addressed the Court for the other claimant to the property. Ile argued that the freedom of the city, conferred us it had been upon Sir Francis . Drake, was not burthened with the inconveniences which necessarily attended those who became freemen under different circumstances ; and that it never could have been meant to impose upon it man upon whom the freedom lout been bestowed as a Mark of ho nour and testimony of great merit, the performance of duties incompatible with his situation. If an equal portion of the duties were expected to be takers by the first of the nobility of the laud .to whom the freedom of the city had been voted, there would be but - few who would consent to accept' of the , 'amour. Besides, what condition was the liability of honorary freemen likely to place them in with regard to their childt , en The custom at' the city of.Lontlon took away front parents the right to leave their children under the guardianship of those whom they might approve, and place them under the con troul of—whom ? Why, of the Chamberlain of London. That regulation might be a wise one so far sus related to the• orphans of those who were freemen by purchase, ,servi tude, or birth ; but how must the Duke of • .Wellington he surprised at being told that one of those rewards to which his military exertions entitled him was, that his daughters must at his death be placed under the care of the Chant. berlain of the city of London,. and that all .attempts to in terfere with that regulation would be in vain. 'But the Cham berlain was to have • a still greater authority over those who, happened to meet with the approbation of -the Lord Mayor and Common Council of the City, and to be presented with the freetiorn mew 'twin of the Corporation. If the question were decided in favour 'of •the argument of his Learned F r i en d, Mr. Shadwell, the-Duke of Wellington, in that case, must resign his authority, with regard to the mar riage h into the hands of the Chamberlain, Oho, i! tdle o e r ve l i s ; d to ag e u a tte i l e ll' raee's death, could exercise a paternahru amity over them, uptil the age of maturity recognized by the law. Alderman WM-I'II74IAM asked whether Sir Francis Drake had not, or could not have exercised his privileges as a freeman Of the city ; and Alderman Bathvar.asked whether, if a person werelo-be ad mitted to all the .privileges of a. freeman, it was not reasonable to .expect that he should submit to any Inconveniences. which might be inseparable from those privileges? - Serjeant SPAN/ UK thought, that - .an honorary freeman Might exercise his priVileges, but certainly did - not suppose that he was to be subject to the inconveniences, :Aided • to, much less to such a disposal of. his property as he might never have conumplated. The law which it was argued was to be applied with such unmitigated severity to the cases of honorary members was, In Net, never known to hare been applied to cases of this description : and ,he hoped that the Court wool& find in the negative upon the prpositiorit submitted to them. Mr. tin aloes: replied. --He contended that a person could not become a member of a society without some obligations. Some ruler might be beneficial, and others not, - hut the'free man, if benefited by some, must run his chance of the-Mewl veniences attending the other regul a ti ons . Wh at h e under. stood by honorary freedom was, the potatession of the privileges withput being subject to the burdens which might he hncom. patible with tit, situation of the person on whom the honour was conferred. The Cou UV, when the arguments were concluded, subMitted the questions to the city law.officers, who will give their opinion, before the next Court of Aldermen. The Recorder will then go , down to the Viee.Chancellor's-Court, and certify in the n ame of the Lord. Mayer and Aldermen. It is stated in Ist Burrow's Reports. 3d .George It., t h at a consultation was bad in the city concerning the sort of gown which it was proper Air the Recorder to put on 'to make this ore tenus. return; in which consultation it wtis determined that it owght to be the purple cloth robe faced With black velvet, and not his scarlet gown, his black silk one, for the common bar gown. _ it is curious that the followln g quevion was not a dd e d to those which - have been submitted,-*" whether the widow of a freeman, having marritd a foreigner,. (as those who are not freemen are designated), is not debarred from all the privileges of a freeman ?" The Court will probably answer this tju es tv on without being required, in order to prevent the necessity of a second application. A young Lady advertises ininn cotemporary print for a husband, and states that she will walk for ktlf an hour, on next Sunday, the eath inst., at three o'clock P.it” on the North side of Merrion-square, prepared to receive an! written communication that may be handed to her.

DREADFUL AND EXTRAORDINARY DEATH. On Thursday evening at seven o'clock, an Inquisition was taken at the Swan-with-two-necks tavern, in Lad-lane, Cheap side, before Mr. §IIELTON, the Coroner, and a very'reSpect able Jury, on view of the body of Mr. William .James, an opulent manufacturer at Coventry; who came to his,death under the following shocking and singular circumstances the Jury being empanelled and sworn, they proceeded to view the remains of the unfortunate gentleman, which lay in the bed room of the tavern ; it was a truly shocking sight, the 'head and face were dreadfully burnt, the hair of the former was all ofr, and the hands and arms, as also the chest,. were shockingly scarified. on the head was a deep wound of frightful appear ance. The following evidence was given, touching the melan choly affair : 'William James, the porter at the inn, examined.—On Mon day night last, between 1I and 12 o'clock, I heard the watch man give an alarm of fire. I went out, and perceived smoke issuing from one of the bed-room windows on the third floor, in the front of the house. I ran up stairs immediately, but could not find the room. I consequently descended, and went up another staircase, and ob•ierved smoke coming from the top and buttons of a door. I endeavoured to gain adi»ittance, by calling out to the person inside ' but could not, the door being fastened inside. However, I burst it open, and found the de ceased gentleman lying on the floor, close to the entrance. lie was groaning piteously. He was partly dressed, having his shirt, drawers, and stockings on. The shirt and drawers were burning when I entered ; also the bed-curtains, sheets, and pillow-cases. I first extinguished the whole, and then carried the deceased out of the mon; to the stair-case, where there were several persons who helped me .a carry him down stairs, and a medical man was sent for.. . _ Coroner—Tray was the decased n guest at the inn ? Witness—Yes: he came about ten days ago. Juror—Was the deceased intoxicated when he went to bed that night ? Witness —No, he was not. I saw him about eleven o'clock, and served him a glass of gin and water ; he was perfectly sober then. Juror—Did the chambermaid see him to his bedroom ? %Vitness—l think not ; he was in the habit of lighting his candle himself. Juror—To your knowledge was the deceased in the habit of reading books or newspapers in bed, after he retired to his chamber Wtn ess— I cannot positively say. I found some old news. papers in his room after the catastrophe. • Coroner—Did you tind any book or newspaper in the bed ? Witness—No, 1 did not; all the bedclothes were partly destroyed. • Juror—Where were the remains of the • sheets and pillow cases when you entered the room ? Witness—Part of -them were entwined round the .deceased's body near the door. • ' Coroner—How can you account for the cut in the deceased's head ? Witness—l cannot to a certainty say how that occurred; but I should think it was done in falling ; or it might hare been done by my bursting the dour open, not being aware the deceased was so near it. • He had evidently struggled vio lently to get out, as the brass, handle of the door was torn from its place. Francis Knowles was next examined—He is a waiter at the inn. The deceased, when he came home on Monday night, was perfectly sober ; he was in the habit of taking news papers to bed with him. Witness was in bed when the alarm was given, but did not see the deceased till after the surgeon's. arrival. Air. Honeyman was next examine& Ile is astir- I geon, and was sent for to attend the deceased onlionday.night found him at this house ; he was perfectly insensible, and dreadfully burnt about the head, face, and arms. I imme diately applied proper remedies, both external and internal.— There was a deep cut on the left side of the head, but this was of no material consequence. I remained with him about an hour, and about Live o'clock the folloiving morning 1 saw him ; be was then sensible, and told me he was reading a newspaper in bed and fell asleep ; that he did not remember.any more till he found himself surrounded by a number of people, and in great torture. He said, he suffered dreadful pain in the stomach and throat, and could baldly breathe. I exerted my utmost skill to preserve life, which, however, proved unavailing, -us the deceased after an immensity of -suffering expired on It ed. nestle) , morning about 6 o'clock. Since death .1 have opened the•body, and found the inside of the throat shockingly burnt. The injuriesihe deceased received internally destroyed the vital powers, which caused death by suffixation, as he inhaled a great quantity of flame and smoke. • The Jury -lamented, the sad catastrophe, and returned et ver dict of Accidental Death, by being burned internally, which caused suffocation." The deceased-has left a wife and six children to bewail hii untiinely end. LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE. Thursday ,night a jury, compOsed of the respectable_ inhabi tants of St. Olave's parish, sat at the Woolpack pubWhouse, Parish-streei, Tooley 7 street, before 'P. Sue I.T 0 Ni; 'Esq., the coroner, for London and Southwark, to inquire Into the cause of the death of a young woman named Caroline Omen, a dress maker, lately 'residentat Pimlico.. The Jury; being swOrn, proceeded to exercise the first -part of their duty, that of viewing the body. On their rettan to the jury-room, Captain Wm. Hocken, of the Commerce schooner, Fal- Mouth, was examined, and deposed, that on Sunday Afternoon last, between a and 4 o'clock, the deceased, to whom he had delivered a letter a few days previous; from her aunt, at Fal mouth, offering her an asylum, in the melancholy event of the death of both her father end mother, lately in London, came to nattle-bridge.stairs with intention of going ,on board his vesnl, to acquaint him with her determination, on the subject ; she had passed over tile two first vessels, and to affirrd her the means of reaching, his own, the covering of the main gangway was placed to the next vessel for her to walk on ; when at the moment she pressed her font upoli it, a sudden squall came on, that occasioned the vessel to lurch, and the board falling from under her, she tell into the river and was drowned, in despite of every effort to save her. The body was picked up on Wed neitlay. The sister of the deeettied was in attendance in an adjoining room, but the Jury not considering it necessary to call her in, her feelings were spared on the heart-rending occasion. The Coroner with much feeling dwelt upon the deplotable ! circumstance, concluding with the observation to the Jury that no doubt existed of the manner in which the ill .fated girl met her death, and it was for thein to say whether it was not alto. gether the result of accident ; when an immediate verdict was ; returned to that effect. Flac.—Yesterday morning, between one and two o'clock, the inhlthitams of Golden-lane were throWn into alarm by the discovery of flames bursting from the lower part of the house of Mr. Gat:GORY, a baker, situated itt about the centre of the west side of Golden•lane, which appeared to threaten destruCtion to the nume rous tenements joining the back of his premises, and which extend to Goswell-street. 11. appeals that Mr. Gregory was in the country, and left the care of his business to his son, who is a journey man with his Bather, he unfortunately fell asleep in the bakehouse, leaving a light, which is supposed to have been knocked down by a dog kept there, and thenco communicated to a parcel of shavings. Tie was awakened by the excessive heat, and had scarcely time to escape. Mrs. Gregory, a remarkably lusty woman, who slept with an infant in the second floor, had great dif ficulty in . :making a descent by a ladder placed for her. Two engines had by this time arrived, which were soon followed by others ; these as sisted by u tolerable supply of water, made th e , most active exertions to stop the progress of the devouring 'element, but not before the next house —a green grocer's, was discovered to be in flumes, About 5 o'clock the front wall of Mr. Gregory's house fellinto Golden-lane, but fortunately with-- out doing personal injury to any of the numerous i n di v id ua l s then collected. The damage was confined to the prejnises mentioned • of which Mr. Gregory's were insured to the full amount, it i s . sa id ; but his less fortunate neighbours, a young couple just commencing business, Ve to lament the loss of all they posse,ted.

A German Paper received this morning, con tains a longarticle from Rome, respecting a Bull, which has for some time been the subject of dis• cussion at that capital.
